Explanation Given: T 1 andT 2 are spanning trees of the simple graphGande 1 is an edge inT 1 that is not inT 2 . Proof: Lete 1 = {u, v}. The graph T 2 ∪ { e 1 } contains a (unique) simple circuitCcontaining edgee 1 . NowT 1 − {e 1 } has two components, one of which containsuand the other of which containsv. We travel along the circuitC,starting atuand not using edgee 1 first, until we first reach a vertex in the component ofT 1 − {e 1 } that containsv;obviously we must reach such a vertex eventually, since we eventually reachvitself. The edge we last traversed ise 2
